Case-Mate Vroom

I just got my Case-Mate Vroom and i thought sharing with you guys. First here are some pictures to show how it looks:
It doesn't feel cheap and gives the phone some extra grip, i like this. all the functions are accessable. When you get the package you will find a screen protector and a cleaning cloth.
pros:
- Extra Grip
- Your phone doesn't get damaged when dropped
- Great look
- shorter brake distance
Cons:
- It's a little bulky
- it smells (at first)
I bought it from ebay http://cgi.ebay.nl/case-mate-Vroom-...ViewItem&pt=Handy_Zubehör&hash=item1e5b61ebc9
the shipping take 2 days this was really amazing

Ya, I have this case aswell, and I really like it. I've had it for a month or so now, and it's doing good. I have setup a MicroSD -> SD adapter which comes out under my battery door and fits inside the case 32GB SD Class 6 card FTW. Works good and doesn't catch on anything. It's what I would recommend.

Yhea i saw the SD card setup. but don't you get a bubble on the back, with your setup?

I have a love hate relationship with this case.
Pros:
1.I dont need a car dock because its "sticky" enough to stay put by my speedometer.
2.Protection from dropping it.
3.More grip definitely makes it easier for 2 handed typing.
Cons:
1. This case cleans my pockets of lint.
2. This phone is thin with out the case, really thin. With the case on I always get the "what kinda iPhone is that"
Generally when not working I keep the phone out of the case (I also have a Best Skin Ever on, so not that big of a deal).
Over all I am happy with the case.

Do you have a link for that adapter? I searched around and could not find one..

How does it fair with heat. It looks like it could cause overheating.

Whahah lol
After a day use i must say i like the extra Grip. after takin it out the case the phone is to slim and slippy

Just noticed this on htcdirect.co.uk
Note: May interfere with ambient light sensor which controls screen brightness in sunlit conditions.
Anyone noticed any problems with this?

I believe this is for the older model case they were selling...no problems here. The case doesn't actually even cover any part of the screen.

Looking at the pictures, thats what I figured. Thanks for the feedback though.

SkyRocket Dock Charger?

Are their any Skyrocket Dock chargers out their? I have searched high and low and can not find any...

I found a universal one online the other day that would be perfect.
Here it is:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Sinjimoru-Sync-and-Charge-Dock-Stand-Samsung-Galaxy-S2-S-ll-Color-Black-/220855903037#ht_500wt_1180

I bought the spare battery system from Amazon.
Part: ET-CGPK004GSTA
Came with a NFC-capable Samsung battery and stand, I put my phone in portrait with it plugged in and can use the AirDroid application to send messages.

looking too
Since they put the usb port on the bottom, I am guessing they want to expand to have speakers, alarm clocks and everything else you can dock these phones in. I am guessing that companies that make this stuff will take a while to get these products out. I'm tired of seeing every type of docking station for iPods.
Hopefully there are making this location standard on all the new phones so it could be more universal to fit most android phones.
If anyone finds anything I hope they will post to this thread!

This looks VERY interesting. I have a flexible skin on my SR, and I don't want to take it off to charge it.....for $5 and shipping this could be a good solution for someone with a thin protective cover.

Yeah, thanks for posting that nexendz. I started a similar thread here with some other options but have yet to find something right. Right now I'm using a business card holder with some foam stick on pads as a stand with the stock charger, although that costs about the same as that Zenis dock.

I, too, am using my old Infuse dock. It's a little big, but it charges fine and might be big enough to hold a SR with a thin case.

The diztronic TPU case works with it but is tight. The USB plug doesn't line up with it while the case is on, but it does fit into the dock with this case. I use this dock as well in my vehicle and I just take the case off when I do.

Just so that I'm certain, when you say "the old Infuse dock"
Samsung AT&T INFUSE 4G SGH-i997 Desktop Dock [ECR-D1B7BEGSTA]

I use the Seido dock from seidoonline.com
" Innodock Jr. Desktop Cradle"
It seems to be universal and I worry a little about the connection on the bottom of the phone but it charges the phone and stands it up with any of the three cases I have used so far on my phone.

I started a threat here to see if anyone has tried using the T-Mobile Galaxy S2 dock for the Skyrocket. According to T-Mobile and AT&T, the phones dimensions are identically the same.

will that work with the SR?

That's what I am trying to find out

Ordered this one from a different seller; same price, arrived very fast. Works with naked handset but not with the included plastic insert nor with a diztronic TPU case. For $5 I don't mind roughing it up so will try to dremel out the sides and see if I can get a better fit to avoid removing the case every time.
EDIT: Don't mind url butchering, gg 10posts.

Let me know how the butchering goes....got ours in a few days ago and may do the same

Removed 3mm overall from the sides to fit case. Now fits the sides but didn't account for the back so it's a bit tight but I don't mind as it keeps it well seated. It is hollow behind the plastic so you will see the void behind it but since the phone will be in the stand it shouldn't matter, at least it's not white plastic painted black which would look worse.

Thanks!

Fintie Samsung Galaxy Tab S 8.4 Smart Shell Case Review

Bought the Fintie Samsung Galaxy Tab S 8.4 Smart Shell Case online.
http://www.fintie.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=667_801_804&product_id=5140
Excellent build quality. The back shell is of high quality and has the gaps in the right places for the camera, SD card, USB, speakers etc. Since this case has been made generic for the WiFi and LTE versions, it does not have the cut for the SIM though. The front flap is also of very high quality and the magnets help it maintain the folded position for viewing and typing. Lightweight and slim, it is easy to carry around.
BUT IT IS UNUSABLE. The magnets used for the closure mechanism interfere with the electronics of the device. The tablet goes to sleep when you are using it, especially when you are typing. Often I get bands on the screen too.
Back to the Samsung original book cover for now.

Hmmm, I've had the same case for 2 months now, with no issues at all.

Am giving it a try again. Hope it works. I have turned off the automatic unlock option now. Hope the case I bought isn't a fake one.

I have this case too and never had a problem with it. It might be the best case I've used.

NO problems with ours !
I am typing this out on my Tab S 10.5 siting in my Fintie Smart Shell Case right now. My wife and I both have this Tablet and this case. Flawless in all respects. Sounds like you either got a defective unit or a chinese imposter knockoff. For this very reason we rely primarily on Amazon.

I bought two of these for my 10.5. Have never had anything like that happen and I've been using them for a good month, everyday.

So I just got this from Amazon, my SD car slot is not in the right place. It is too low.
Is this true for everyone elses case?

If I am not wrong, that slot is for the sim card tray. Many cases do not have a slot for the micro sd card. Which model do you own?

[Q] Magnetic Car Mounts

Just curious if anybody is using a magnetic car mount with their S6. If so, how are you attaching the metal plate in the phone? I used to just put it between the phone and a phone case, but this isn't working so great for the S6 because it interferes with the wireless charging. Is there any way to have the best of both worlds? Interestingly enough, the phone sticks to a magnetic mount out of the box, but the connection feels a little weak to me.
What are your thoughts?

edit

I'm using one with mine, no need to install anything on the phone it just works.

What are you using? I'm researching this solution also. Is it a wireless charging dock?

Nope just a magnetic mount from walmart.

I have an iMagnet mount. With my S4, I put a disc between the phone and case for the magnet to hold. The disc, of course, interferes with wireless charging on the S6. The metal body of the S6 is enough for the magnet to hold it without a disc, but the glass back of the S6 is not grippy enough and the phone slides right off the magnet. I have a case coming today that I hope will provide enough grip for the magnet to hold the phone without a metal disc. If not, I might try cutting the disc down to a smaller size and see if I can get your best of both worlds.

I got this at Walmart yesterday and it works great, http://mobile.walmart.com/ip/Scosche-Magnetic-Dash-Mount/37699955

Would it work If i have a case around my phone? using a pure gear - Dualtek case.

Hmm okay that looks a little bit thinner then my case.
What i am using at the moment:
http://www.pure-gear.com/shop-by-de...xtreme-shock-case-for-samsung-galaxy-s-6.html
I guess the only way to find out is tonight, when I pick-up my wireless charger if it even charges through the case. If it does then maybe the magnet will work.

With a Spigen Ultra Hybrid case on my phone, it provides enough grip against the iMagnet mount with the phone's metal body to hold the phone in place on the mount. It stayed put the whole drive to work today (~15 miles) and only tilted slightly.

Fingerprints scanner wont work on any cases

Just "found out" that the fingerprints scanner will not work on any cases because your hand need to touch the metal parts on the sides of the phone in oder to make it work (if u dont want ro cut a hole on the side of the case).

Run a piece of aluminum foil inside your case, so that your finger touches it when you cover the button. This is the only "fix" I've seen for this issue.

I have a slim armor case and fingerprint scanner works fine.

Hang a metal coat hanger out of the headphone port to give you connection.

There is no clean fix except to wait for T-Mobile to release OTA. Recent Verizon OTA fixed issue. Fingerprint scanner on my VS990 works marvelously now

I remember someone said that if you hold the power button down with a case, that more often than not, the fingerprint scanner will work with a case on.

A bit of aluminum tape is a quick, cheap solution, and it's easily reversible once the update comes through

I'm on Verizon, and am using the simple Incipio case, no metal exposed, and am on the update. My fingerprint scanner works great. A little annoying since it is sometimes slow, but does work fine

It's a software issue. The Verizon versions been updated. T-Mobile hasn't. Not sure about others. There might also be some variation between different cases or even between different people
